the first set of grants from the second round of the $20 million Supporting Cinemas’ Retention Endurance and Enhancement of Neighbourhoods (SCREEN) Fund.

Mr Conaghan said the latest grants would allow independent cinema operators to keep providing a popular, low-cost and COVID-safe way for people to go out and enjoy a movie as part of their local community.

“I’m pleased to announce that Majestic Cinemas in Kempsey, Nambucca Heads, Port Macquarie and Sawtell have all been approved for grants as part of the Federal Government’s $20 million SCREEN Fund,” he said.

To date, the Federal Government has allocated $17.7 million from the SCREEN Fund to support 200 independent cinemas across the country to help them keep their doors open, continue offering employment opportunities, and entertain their communities with diverse stories.

In a second round of funding, announced in December, independent cinema operators can apply to Screen Australia for grants of up to $85,000 if they have experienced significant declines in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keiran Dell, the CEO of Majestic Cinemas and the Vice-President of the Independent Cinemas Association told News Of The Area, “It’s been a pretty tough period with COVID, bushfires and floods during the past two years.

“We’re not like a restaurant that can open

“Our staff really enjoyed baking the

up and go back to serving its previous menu.”

Mr Dell said cinemas rely on a global supply chain of films, and when Australia is open, other countries may not be, so films from overseas, Hollywood in particular, are not always available.

He said the Independent Cinemas Association lobbied the Federal Government for the SCREEN Fund to be set up and that

the first round helped cinemas.

He said that about half the committed funding was spent, so the Association asked for a second round and Mr Conaghan was instrumental in it being approved.

Mr Dell said, “We hope we are near the end of this period, and people are returning to cinemas, so we are very positive.”

q The Sawtell Cinema is one of four independent Mid North Coast cinemas to receive funding.

Failed Bill Prompts Local Concerns

By Paul FOGARTY THE Federal Government’s failure to deliver on religious discrimination is a betrayal of all Australians of faith including the Coffs Coast Sikh community, according to Labor candidate for Page, Patrick Deegan.

Mr Deegan said “the principle of protecting people of faith from discrimination is fundamental to our Australian values, and should be above petty political games”.

“It was extremely disappointing that the Federal Government tried to push through a package of laws (last week) that would have made progress on religious discrimination at the expense of protections for transgender children.”

Playing one group of Australians off against another was "shameful, cynical politics”, Mr Deegan said.

“While Labor and some Coalition backbenchers took a principled stand and sought to make sensible amendments to the legislation the Morrison Government threw a childish tantrum and indefinitely delayed debate on its own bill in the Senate,” Mr Deegan said.

Mr Deegan called on the Federal Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, to clarify the Federal Government’s failed delivery on it’s election promise on religious discrimination and why he had voted in favour of the Government’s “disgraceful attempt to water down protections for transgender children”.

“This is a sad outcome for people of faith across Australia, including members of the Coffs Coast Sikh community, for whom discrimination is a real and ever-present issue,” Mr Deegan said.

Mr Hogan’s office did not respond to requests for comment from News Of The Area.

Caz4Cowper launches campaign

By Andrea FERRARI

A DRAMATIC increase in respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, accidental injuries and mental health conditions will all put enormous pressure on our health system unless real action is taken on climate change.

That was the dire warning at Sunday’s campaign launch

by Independent candidate for the Federal seat of Cowper, Carolyn ‘Caz’ Heise.

"The northern campaign launch for Caz4Cowper was a huge success on Sunday,” Caz told News Of The Area.

“I'm heartened by the community support for me as their Independent candidate

but also sense that Cowper is ready for a grassroots change.

“There is definitely a growing dissatisfaction in our community and across Australia with the current state of federal politics and party politicians.

“Only an Independent can represent the voice of the community as a first priority.

“Our Southern launch is being held in Port Macquarie on Sunday 6 March, there is much ground swell there too.

“I really believe the time is right for Cowper voters to rise up, speak out and take positive action for our futures by voting 1 - Caz4Cowper.

“We can do this."

A crowd of more than 200

q 200-plus locals supported Caz Heise’s campaign launch in Coffs Harbour.

enthusiastic people heard Dr Jon Ferguson endorse Caz’s as the best person to lead the fight for change in climate policy and create better outcomes for Cowper.

“Climate change is already impacting on the health of people in Cowper,” Dr Ferguson said.

“In the last few years, we’ve experienced deadly bushfires, drought, flood and wild storms, and they have had not just enormous economic costs but they have also put an incredible strain on health resources.

“We need someone of

Caz’s vast medical experience and business background to find political solutions which protect us and our way of life.”

Caz, a nurse and health services administrator who was a former Director of Nursing and Midwifery at Coffs Harbour Health Campus said it was time to take advantage of the opportunities which came with real action on climate change.

“The people of Cowper have everything to gain and nothing to lose from a quick transition away from coal,” she said.

“Switching to renewables

will drive power prices down for households, business and industry, and give us the opportunity to create new industry sectors locally requiring well paid and skilled employees.

“Ditching coal isn’t in the interests of the parties which take donations from coal companies, but it’s the key to protecting and enhancing the way of life we enjoy here in our communities of choice.”

A heartfelt and deeply personal endorsement from Gumbaynggirr elder Aunty Bea Ballangarry drew a warm response from the crowd of

supporters.

“I am humbled by Aunty Bea’s wisdom and support,” Caz said.

“I will be an honest advocate for everyone in Cowper and I will always work with and for our communities with respect and integrity.

“It is time to change the way politics is done.

“It is time to put people first and end the influence of big business and big polluters on our lives.

“It is time to stop the rorts and pork barrelling.

“It is time everyone was treated with respect.”

Grants To Plant Trees For The Queen The Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee Program is one of a range of national and community events planned by the Australian Government to celebrate the legacy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and her 70 years of service to Australia and the Commonwealth.

THE Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee Program is one of a range of national and community events planned by the Australian Government to celebrate the legacy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and her 70 years of service to Australia and the Commonwealth.

Eligible groups and organisations are invited to contact the office of the Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, to discuss potential projects for nomination for a grant to plant trees in honour of the occasion.

The Queen has visited Australia on sixteen occasions, and, on many of these visits, has planted trees at community events and ceremonies, leaving a long-lasting reminder of the special occasion for the people in those communities.

In fact, the Queen is said to have planted 1500 trees throughout her reign.

Mr Conaghan welcomed the opportunity for local community groups to play a part in the celebrations.

He said, “A wide range of groups and organisations are eligible to apply, from community and environment groups

through to councils and schools and we’d love to see Cowper well represented.”

Grants from $2,500 to $20,000 will be available, with each federal electorate eligible to receive up to $100,000 for up to ten projects.

Projects that are suitable must include formal commemorative events in 2022 to mark the Jubilee, plantings of regionally appropriate tree species, and installation of commemorative signage or plaques.

grants.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the Small Business Support Program will provide cashflow assistance to help local businesses get through the current COVID-19 outbreak and keep workers employed.

“The payment for employing businesses will cover up to 20 percent of weekly payroll, up to a maximum of $5,000 per

week. Eligible non-employing businesses, such as sole traders, will receive $500 per week,” Mr Singh said.

But Coffs Harbour Labor spokesperson Tony Judge said, “The number of businesses that are able to access the funding will be limited.”

Mr Judge said that while "some local businesses will get some welcome relief”, Premier Dominic Perrottet’s “premature easing of Covid

“Sudden Surge” of Grants ahead of Federal Election

By Paul FOGARTY

THE recent "surge" in NSW State Grants continues with the introduction of a new NSW Government support payment of up to $5000 per week for small businesses.

While Coffs Coast small businesses adversely affected by COVID-19 over the summer can apply for the grants a cloud hangs over what some are calling the ‘restrictive’ criteria for the

restrictions in December” had contributed to the downturn for local businesses. ”The loss of business, particularly vital Christmas trade, was made worse by our Premier’s illadvised ‘Freedom Day’ and his stubborn refusal to reintroduce Covid prevention measures,” Mr Judge said.

Mr Singh claimed people “chose to stay at home” during the summer Omicron wave and this “hit many

small businesses in the community hard, especially in the hospitality and tourism sectors”.

“The Omicron variant was already well established by the time (Perrottet) shut the stable door,” said Mr Judge.

“Now we are spending taxpayer funds and growing the State debt in a limited attempt to make amends.”

Mr Singh claimed the Small Business Support Program was about “making sure businesses that are viable over the medium and long term get through Omicron in good shape so we can bounce back better as case numbers fall”.

Business Concierge team and grant assessors are standing by ready to assist customers,” Mr Singh said.

“It is hard not to be cynical about the motivation for the sudden surge of State Grants in the lead up to the Federal Election,” Mr Judge said.

“It looks suspiciously like our tax dollars in NSW are being used to shore up support for the Morrison Government.

“At the very least, these grants should be accompanied by an apology from the NSW Premier for his role in causing the loss of trade that has led to so much stress on local businesses.”

AFTER enduring years of war in Afghanistan, Abdollah Noorani’s parents fled the Taliban and moved to Iran where Abdollah and his younger brother Habib were born.

Abdollah’s family later settled in Australia as refugees and have lived in Coffs Harbour for almost six years.

Like many in the community, Abdollah is a full-time carer for his mother, allowing his younger brother and sister to pursue their dreams of work and study.

Abdollah makes the most of any spare time by swimming and walking the beach.

Soon after his arrival in Australia, AbdollahAround lunch time on Tuesday 15 February, Abdollah was off duty and walking along Jetty Beach when he heard someone shouting for help.

Seeing a young boy and his father struggling against the waves, Abdollah grabbed his body board and flew across the water, positioning father and son on the board and guiding them to safety.

“I felt happy that I was there and that I was able to help them,” he said.

Abdollah considers his love of swimming as an opportunity to give something back and serve the community as a lifeguard.

Abdollah’s multilingual background is also a great asset in protecting some of our more vulnerable beachgoers.

Coffs Harbour’s migrant community has lost too many well-respected members in recent years.

“I therefore decided to volunteer myself and help the community,” Abdollah said.

Abdollah is now focused on his next goal - to wear the blue shirt of a professional lifeguard on Coffs Harbour’s beaches.

“I have heard of very many cases of people drowning at the beach. q

Morning tea will be served.

It is anticipated a large number of relatives, friends, and RSL comrades, men and women, will attend.

Charlie’s son Carlos has returned from Ireland for the service.

Long serving member of Dorrigo RSL sub-Branch, Bob Denner, paid tribute to Charlie’s years of service.

“In 2016 I asked Charlie how many years he had been playing the bugle calls at

Dorrigo’s Anzac Day services, and he said he started when his son was aged two,” Bob said.

“That son is now 39, so Charlie says ‘give or take a couple I missed, I reckon 35’.

“That is quite some record, and our community and commemorative services are much the richer for Charlie’s beautiful renditions of the Last Post and Reveille.

“The scoping of major restoration works to restore critical infrastructure, including the main amenities, continues and we hope to

provide a further update on this soon,” she added.

A Together Toormina storyboard has been installed throughout the Centre, communicating the timeline of the hail event and stories of community support.

The community is invited to be part of this story by sharing images in the Together Toormina Heart on the Centre’s Instagram platform, and they could even win dollars to spend back in the Centre.

Brooke Hanson is Coffs Ocean Swims Ambassador

By Andrea FERRARI

BROOKE Hanson OAM, an Olympic Games Gold and Silver Medallist, has been named as Ambassador of the Beachside Radiology Coffs Coast Ocean Swims 2022 for the eighth year.

Affectionately known as the ‘Jetty Swim’ there are 150m, 300m, 600m and 2km swims in the harbour on Sunday morning, 3 April.

Brooke calls Coffs Harbour her second home.

“I love how my whole family can enjoy the water at

the beautiful beaches, creeks and iconic Coffs Harbour Jetty,” she told News Of The Area.

“I’ve been a proud Ambassador of the Coffs Ocean Swims since 2015.

“This year is extra special as we are dedicating the swim to my late Grandfather, John Mills OAM, life member of Coffs Harbour SLSC and of Surf Life Saving Australia.

“He was my hero and I’m so thankful for the guidance and support he gave me, my family and the thousands of people he coached.

“We love how we can do it as a family, and we enjoy seeing our children loving the water as much as us.

“For me being an active role model is so important when raising children and doing the Coffs Ocean Swims together is so special.”

every day as an opportunity to shine.

“I live everyday like it’s my last and I wanted to inspire people to believe in themselves and embrace life by never giving up.

“I encourage people to embrace possibility and live a purpose driven life.”

Compost for goodness sake

By Andrea FERRARI

TALKING rubbish, green rubbish that is, is one way of educating and upskilling the community on what they can do about their food waste.

The Let’s Get Composting Coffs Coast team are out and about talking with the general public, sharing the how-to, what-to and whys of making the most of household food waste – how you can save your household thousands of dollars a year through avoiding food waste, and what you can do with the scraps you can’t avoid.

“It was fun, very interactive and productive,” Bev Fraser, MidWaste and Let’s Get Composting team member told News Of The Area.

“We had people lined up wanting to talk to us about how to avoid food waste, and what to do with their unavoidable food waste, such as peelings, bones etc.

“All the caddies we had taken along to help the community get food scraps into the green bin were given new homes within the region (one per household is the

A key message for the community is to help them understand how to use their bins correctly, avoid food waste and then, if they want to, get creative with composting.

“We want all organic scraps going into the green Council bin (or being composted at home),” Ali Bigg, MidWaste Coordinator told News Of The Area.

“If organics get into landfill, the process of compaction, which is a daily requirement, creates an

“Each household can help avoid around 100kg of food waste from entering our waste stream every year, and instead it can easily be turned into valuable fertile soil or nutrient rich liquid fertilizer - either for the community if you use your green bin, or for yourself if you compost at home.

“Through this program, we have joined up with the Compost Revolution to provide heavily subsidised

equipment to the community to enable them to turn their food and garden scraps into a valuable resource.”

The Compost Revolution is a social venture that partners with councils to make it easy for residents to get into home composting.

Tourism Operators Gather To Celebrate

By Andrew VIVIAN MORE than 100 operators and staff of Coffs Coast tourism businesses gathered at the Jetty Beach House on Tuesday, February 15.

‘Cheers Coffs Coast’ was an opportunity, organised by the Coffs Harbour City Council, for local tourism operators to network, celebrate successes and find out about the latest digital trends.

Fiona Barden, Coffs Harbour City Council’s Section Leader, Industry Destination Development, said the event was to enable tourism sector people to talk face-to-face but also raise awareness of opportunities for small businesses.

Kellon Beard, from NSW Business, was on hand to present some of the many NSW Tourism Awards won

by Coffs Coast businesses, in person, with a highlight being the Gold award for Excellence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tourism won by The Giingan Experience, conducted by by Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation.

Liz Ward, from Tourism Tribe in Brisbane spoke about trends in digital marketing.

She said that customers have never been more digitally savvy and that online purchasing grew by 23.4 percent during Covid, with particular growth in the 5075 year old age group.

Ms Ward said consumers

have expectations of improved online experience, including that businesses understand their needs and experience.

She told the audience that Facebook, Messenger and Instagram are popular with customers, with Instagram generally garnering the highest engagement.

Ms Ward said Instagram had gone from being a photo sharing app to a video and messaging app.

Because 68 percent of marketers report that video is a better investment than Google Ads, Mrs Ward recommended that businesses operate a YouTube channel.

She also said customers respond to offers of value to them and that email gets approximately an eleven percent click rate.

Ms Ward said, “It is

CORINDI Rural Fire Brigade has taken ownership of a brand-new Category 1 Tanker now known as ‘Corindi 1’.

“This vehicle has all the mod cons a busy brigade needs to get out there and protect their community,” said District Officer, Inspector Michael Brougham.

“The most common changes are things like updating a Google listing or having a social media plan.”

lighting allows our crews to be better seen when working at incidents.

“The truck has the latest design in crew protection with cabin sprays and radiant heat shields to protect the crews in case of fire overrun.

“The Cat 1 also has a bull bar mounted monitor, or nozzle, to allow crews to direct water onto a fire from inside the cabin.

“It holds six crew and all the equipment needed by the brigade to combat incidents we are called to, including a fridge to keep the crew’s drinking water cool.

“The old appliance is now part of the RFS second-hand tanker program.

“It will be transferred to another brigade in NSW to continue its service.”

From Corindi RFS Captain Rob Cox’s perspective, he hopes the new truck will

attract new young volunteers to the Brigade.

“We’re all getting older, and we’re keen to train up young people.

“The RFS training can be really useful, giving the volunteers skills they can transfer to their lives and jobs; they can train for their truck driver’s licence, they can get a chainsaw licence and these skills and certificates can also be used as credits towards further education,

including uni courses such as Emergency Management.

“As an emergency service, it doesn’t cost the volunteers anything for their training.”

Live theatre returns to Dorrigo WEILDING a 2.5 metre-long imitation medieval infantry axe, Dorrigo Drama Club President Dina Luciani and Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey officially reopened the Old Gazette Theatre by slicing through the ribbon, celebrating the completion of the foyer refurbishments and a return to business.

The symbolism of the cut was not lost on celebrating guests who have supported both the Drama Club and the Theatre through the Coviddisrupted ride.

Their first play in two years to take to the stage, ‘Minefields and Miniskirts’, opens on 2 March.

The foyer-opening celebrations and Minefields and Miniskirts are interpreted by club members as a sloughing off of the recent hard times and the beginning of a bright, positive, ambitious era.

The play was adapted for the stage by Terence

O’Connell from a social research project conducted

by Siobhan McHugh where she interviewed and recorded fifty Australian women about their experiences of the Vietnam War. Terence distilled the women’s testimonies to create five characters: Ruth, a journalist, Kathy, a nurse, Sandy, an entertainer, Eve, a volunteer and Margaret, a

FLEXIBILITY, balance, eating a healthy diet and generally living well can slip from our daily lifestyle choices as we age.

To inspire the motivation to eat well and keep nimble, the Healthy and Active for Life Online program has been created.

Registration is open now and closes on 14 April.

Healthy and Active for Life Online is a free healthy lifestyle program for people aged 60 years and over, and Aboriginal people aged 45 years and over, living in the

Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD).

The program is a NSW Health initiative designed for people who are living at home and who wish to increase their confidence, knowledge and skills to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

The program includes access to ten self-directed online modules on healthy lifestyle topics and a home exercise program.

Participants will also receive a weekly phone call from a trained phone coach at a time that suits them.

MNCLHD Health Promotion Officer Margo

Johnston said the ten-week program offers a great opportunity to get active and learn about healthy lifestyle habits from the comfort of home.

“As well as learning about healthy eating, the program will also teach you some simple exercise programs that will keep you moving for longer,” Margo told News Of The Area.

“All you need is internet access, a computer or tablet and some space to exercise.

“The program is so convenient as you can receive advice from trained coaches at a time that suits you in our own home.

“I would encourage anyone thinking about

becoming more active and healthy to sign up,” said Margo.

Woolgoolga Probus back in action

By Andrea FERRARI

WOOLGOOLGA Probus Club is getting back into action with a calendar of social activities and interests for its members.

“We’re really happy to be looking forward to resuming club activities for the year,” Trish Pope told News Of The Area.

“Our Club is open to retired and semiretired people, we are a non-sectarian group, and we cover a wide age range.

“A range of activities is on offer, and we are always looking for new ways to engage our members.”

Trish shares a glimpse of what members can take part in.

“For our monthly meetings we have a guest speaker who can introduce you to a new world or a new way of thinking.

“This is followed by the opportunity to join in for lunch with other members at a venue in Woolgoolga.

“We have Coffee and Chat gatherings held once a month at a local café.

“Our monthly outings vary widely in where we visit.

“They have included a day trip to Maclean with lunch at a new brewery, a visit to a llama farm, Christmas in July celebrations overnight in Dorrigo, a guided tour of the Bellingen Museum and historic

buildings, among others.

“In March a day trip to Grafton is planned to visit the Art Gallery and have lunch by the river.

“When we have day trips, we generally car-pool so for a small contribution you can share the journey with a fellow member.

“The bird watching group meets monthly.

“Under the guidance of a couple of seasoned bird watchers, members visit local areas where birds are plentiful. “So, if you like an early morning stroll followed by a cup of coffee this could be ideal.”

Trish notes that the club welcomes any new ideas for innovative and different activities to be shared amongst our members.

Settling in Australia as a young refugee

MOST refugees see their refugee status as a temporary, yet challenging stage in their life.

They want to win the lottery of resettlement and resettle in a safe country, sadly leaving the vast majority of refugees behind, who languish in camps for years to come. Ultimately, most want to return to their homeland when it is safe and there is no risk to their life.

Southern Cross maintains global top 200 place in Young University ranking

q SCU came in at 16th in the 2022 Times Higher Education Young University Rankings.

18 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

SOUTHERN Cross University has maintained its global position among the 2022 Times Higher Education Young University Rankings.

The global ranking focuses solely on the 500 or so institutions established 50 years ago or earlier and Southern Cross, only 28-yearsold, is among the top 200, coming in at 164th this year.

Mr Ben Roche, Vice President (Engagement), said given the challenges the pandemic presented over the past two years, it’s a solid result.

“As a 28-year-old regionallybased University, Southern Cross continues to punch above its weight globally," he said.

“These rankings are a timely reminder of the calibre of education

media@newsofthearea.com.au

and research being undertaken in regional Australia and, in the case of Southern Cross University, activity that has been recognised as at world standard.

“Our research is sector leading and our education programs are distinctive.

“There really is a world-class option for students right here in some of the most sought-after locations in Australia."

Times Higher Education applies the same methodology as its World University Rankings to assess research-intensive universities across core missions of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook, but weightings are recalibrated to reflect the profile of young universities.

Southern Cross ranked 163rd in

the 2021 Young University rankings.

Southern Cross continues to be a university of choice for prospective students.

With less than three weeks until the start of Term 1 study, Southern Cross University has recorded an increase in the number of high school graduates accepting their offers of study.

At the same time, the University’s new revolutionary teaching mode, the Southern Cross Model, expands to most courses this year.

The federal government recognised Southern Cross University’s innovative research focus by awarding more than $1.94 million in the latest Australian Research Council (ARC) funding rounds.

For the University’s ARC Discovery Projects, in particular, it was a sector-leading success rate.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Second bite at cherry after divorce PETER and Michelle separate after a 20 year relationship.

Twelve months later, a divorce order is granted.

Peter puts an offer to Michelle regarding the division of their property.

They both seek legal advice.

The parties ultimately settle on a 60/40 split in favour of Michelle.

Consent orders under the Family Law Act are drafted to finalise the arrangement.

Peter takes the opportunity to discuss his estate planning with a specialist.

The solicitor advises him that despite the finalisation of the property settlement under Commonwealth legislation, Michelle is still able to make a family provision claim against Peter’s estate upon his death.

Peter believes that he was generous in relation to the property settlement and is concerned that if Michelle also made a claim against his estate, the result would not be fair to his children.

Peter is advised that Michelle can only be prevented from making a claim if an order is made by the Supreme Court of New South Wales under State legislation.

Peter decides that due to the relatively high value of the assets involved in a property settlement, the costs of making the application are justified.

The solicitors draft a Deed of Release, with the effect that Michelle is precluded from making a claim against Peter’s estate, on the condition that the property settlement consent orders are made under the Family Law Act. Affidavits detailing the settlement are filed in support of the application.

In determining the application, the Supreme Court considers whether, in the context of the property settlement, the release is to Michelle’s advantage and whether the release is “prudent”. The Court also considers whether the release is “fair and reasonable” and on the basis that Peter and Michelle each received independent legal advice, grants the application to approve the release of Michelle’s rights to make a claim against Peter’s estate.

Peter makes a new will, leaving the whole of his estate to his children, in the knowledge that Michelle cannot have a second bite at the cherry.

DEAR Jasminda,

The prospect of a better future for Cowper residents DEAR News of the Area, LIKE numerous people today, my wife and I are both totally disenchanted and sick of the standard of politics we currently endure.

The lies, the deception, the stunts, the outright and blatant corruption and missuse of the public’s money by political parties desperate to cling to power.

So on Sunday we attended the inaugural meeting of the local independent candidate Carolyn (Cas) Heise in the hope of finding something better.

I must say that we were most impressed.

Cas is articulate and spoke very sincerely, she is not another lawyer or career politician but is a senior health worker in a local hospital.

Besides key issues such as climate

OUR current Federal Government has failed to bring in laws to protect religions from discrimination.

change, important themes came through which were representing the local community and not a political party, respect, honesty and integrity.

Aspects of politics which today are sadly totally absent.

I am not trying to change anyone’s political viewpoint but if you want a person who represents and supports our local community rather than a politician who we pay but takes his instructions from a party in Canberra and which serves and is fed by the payola of foreign mining companies operating interstate, then we now have the option of voting in a truly local Independent Carolyn (Cas) Heise whose website is www. cas4cowper.com.au.

Jetty Foreshores Redevelopment DEAR News Of The Area,

CONGRATULATIONS to Bruce Weir (‘Abject Betrayal of the Coffs Harbour Community, p24, Coffs Coast News of The Area, 18 February 2022) for bringing to our attention the online December minutes of the Jetty Foreshores Planning Advisory Committee proposing a massive residential redevelopment of the Jetty Foreshores.

notice of our elected representatives who have repeatedly promised meaningful public consultation on this vital issue.

Maybe I just missed the press releases.

The interests of the State Government, always looking for revenue, and those of the Coffs community are not necessarily in alignment, and it is now obvious this process is rolling inexorably towards an irretrievable loss of priceless public land.

I am not sure what Coffs Council can do about this but what they can do they must do or be known as the Council that gave the city away.

Otherwise, the residents themselves must realise now the urgency of letting

A friend recently asked me to look after her dog Claudice while she travelled for a month.

She is due back next week, and the dog and I have bonded.

I've also taught Claudice some basic obedience including sit and stay, which my friend said she's never been able to achieve.

I think it's in Claudice's best interests if she stays with me.

She was formerly an outdoor dog, but now enjoys sleeping in my bed (head on the pillow).

How do I broach this with my friend?

James P. Oh, James.

WHAT an emotional mess you've got yourself into.

It appears you've doted on this dog to such an extent that it has developed Stockholm Syndrome, giving in to your commands as a survival technique.

You can't just dognap Claudice (do you notice how you call this animal by name each time, such is the level of misplaced affection you've developed?).

This is another person's dog, and that person has entrusted you to care for the dog in the manner it has been brought up in, not to develop some sort of weird intimate relationship where you are now sleeping and drooling together on the same pillow!

James, get a grip!

Over the next week, you'll need to have a conscious uncoupling with the poor creature.

I suggest you start tonight with a bed in the laundry (just for the dog, in case you have visions of both of you in there). If you need some four-legged company, you will need to get your own pet.

I'd also suggest declining any future requests for dog minding until you learn some detachment strategies.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

the authorities concerned know how they feel about this short sighted squandering of our city’s most valuable asset.

OPINION & LETTERS

Greens support Nurses and Midwives DEAR News Of The Area,

COFFS Harbour Greens attended the Nurses and Midwives rally in Coffs Harbour last week to support our frontline healthcare workers.

We joined the strike action because we’re concerned that the NSW government is failing to keep our

community safe by ignoring Nurses and Midwives requests for safe patient care.

We believe this government's response to be extremely insensitive especially in the middle of a pandemic.

If Dominic Perrottet and his government can’t work with nurses and midwives now to stop worker migration out of the sector when can they.

We believe our nurses and our midwives deserve sustainable hospital staffing solutions and Covid safe conditions in our hospitals.

Frontline healthcare workers have been crying out for better conditions, safe staff to patient ratios and fair pay for years.

Nurses and midwives have worked

around the clock to keep us safe throughout this pandemic and they deserve better than empty thanks from the Liberal-National Government.

Kind regards, Natalie STEVENS, Greens Convener.

Cucumber and friends

By Fiona MORGAN CUCUMBERS are super easy to grow here and kindly prolific with fruit.

The Coffs Harbour area is a commercial growing hub for cucumbers, though usually in greenhouses to meet the perfectionist requirements of supermarkets year round.

For backyard gardeners, cucumbers are grown ‘in the field’ and do very well at providing more than enough cucumber for a household and neighbours.

There are a number of cucumber-like plants to explore as well who are similarly prolific - cucamelon (Melothria scabra), kiwano (Cucumis metuliferus) and caigua (Cyclanthera pedata). All of these plants are warm season friends with no tolerance for frost.

None will cross with each other.

Cucumber/Cucumis sativus The biggest issue with cucumber growing here is (Jaws theme tune...) powdery mildew.

Ensuring good airflow around your cucumber plant (grow them up a trellis) and having excellent soil health will both help keep this plant killer at bay.

Make gardening easier, grow varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew.

You can plant cucumbers from August through to March here.

The temperature needs to be 15°C for germination, but they sprout better when the weather is 21 - 29°C. Sow 1 - 2cm deep.

They take 2 - 4 weeks to be ready to transplant out.

Plant 30 - 60cm apart, rows over a metre wide.

Plant density affects airflow around them so space them further apart if this is likely to be an issue.

Cucumbers do best in soil rich in compost and manures.

They can be grown in containers of at least 20L. They love a continuous even supply of water and nutrients.

They like lots of light and warmth between 22 - 34°C. They will appreciate regular seaweed or fertiliser drinks throughout their life.

Avoid wetting the leaves as this encourages the dreaded powdery mildew.

Depending on variety, you need to wait 7 - 12 weeks before picking.

They are pollinated by bees.

The height of cucumber picking season is December - February.

Once picking starts it may become a daily task if you dare - the more you pick, the more the plant will create. Do your picking in

Cut, don't pull them off the vine.

Pulling tends to tear the fruit and this means it will start to rot.

Cucumbers are ready for seed saving when they are huge and yellow and thoroughly unappealing, many weeks past

when you would consider eating them.

What is the true cost? Coffs Harbour Boat Ramp and Jetty Redevelopment Master Plan DEAR News Of The Area,

I READ the NOTA front page article headed ‘Lofty Ambitions As New Council Sworn In’ (Coffs Coast News Of The Area, p1, February 18 Edition) with increasing surprise and dismay.

To my amazement there was no mention of the Civic and Cultural Space building, which was a primary focus of voters in the election campaign.

Does Mayor Amos seriously think he would have been elected Mayor if not for his clear stance over the preceding two years against the pursuit of new Council Chambers on the Gordon Street site?

We have now seen the resignation of the G.M., in effect cutting off the giant's head, but the body continues to grow,

vacuuming up Council/ratepayers funds at a rapid rate, as well as stealing car parks and causing disruption to the struggling CBD. In their desire to appear socially correct and environmentally aware, the Councillors are completely ignoring this massive project which was wrongly prioritised by the previous Council, above other pressing issues for the city and surrounds.

We need an honest answer as to the true costs of the CCS project and whether other urgent works have been sidelined to fund this behemoth.

Regards, Christine LUBANS, Sapphire Beach.

DEAR News Of The Area, THE sea wall supposedly designed to improve and make our harbour boat ramp better and safer has created a real problem with sand build up already making boat access impossible at low tide.

The wall design and the modelling undertaken by the Manly Hydraulics Laboratory seems to have fallen well short of what was needed for this part of the $14m upgrade being overseen by Transport NSW Maritime.

Add to this there is the alarming disregard of the Coffs community's views in the Jetty

Area Foreshores Master Plan as noted in Bruce Weir's letter (‘Abject Betrayal of the Coffs Harbour Community, p24, Coffs Coast News of The Area, 18 February 2022).

Both issues call for immediate remedial action led by our local member Gurmesh Singh.

His assurances that the community's views would be first and foremost in the Jetty Foreshores redevelopment currently appear to be completely forgotten for the benefit of developers.

Regards, Lionel GOODACRE, Coffs Harbour.

CALLING all downsizers, investors and first home buyers.

If you have been looking for the perfect downsize option or simply wish to get your foot into the local market, this fantastic property will be well worth an inspection.

This ‘house sized’ freestanding villa unit has recently undergone an internal renovation and offers the space of a three-bedroom house with the low-maintenance features of a smaller villa.

All bedroom’s feature BIR’s, new carpet flooring and combined lighting/ceiling fans.

The bathroom is exceptionally neat and tidy and features a new shower screen, vanity

and has enjoyed a fresh repaint.

The living room enjoys fantastic natural light from the North and the space has been re-configured to create a separate 3m x 3m home office, media room or potential fourth bedroom at the entrance.

Brand new, easy-care Vinyl Planks have been installed throughout the living zones, new light fittings are present, and the entire home has been repainted.

The kitchen has been thoroughly modernized and features attractive subway tile splash backs throughout.

It’s important to mention for young families, the kitchen has great vision over the rear yard space so meal prep can be done whilst keeping sight of the young ones.

The single car garage has direct access internally through the kitchen and a rear sliding door off the dining area gives easy connection from the kitchen to the outdoor

entertainment area.

Moving outside, the entire yard has been transformed and substantial landscaping performed to create a wonderful space that can now be enjoyed.

An exceptionally large covered outdoor deck has just been installed and leads out to a generous lawned area, while the rest of the yard space is ready for you to plant out your dream garden.

Garden beds have been created at the side and front entry which you could further plant out and the home features new guttering, fascia boards and painting has already been done.

If you are looking for a smaller home option but don’t want to sacrifice too much of your internal space or yard, this will suit perfectly.

OPPORTUNITY knocks, it’s your chance to either answer, or look the other way and miss out only to look back and say “What if?”

This three-bedroom home, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a popular neighbourhood, has potential written all over it.

You may think that it is priced low, but there is a

reason.

This home, like many others in the area, was a victim of the hailstorm last year which tore through the southern suburbs.

Although much of the damage is superficial, it is being sold ‘AS IS’.

The damage has been taken into account and the home has been priced accordingly.

Much of the clean-up work has now taken place and repairs can commence.

The obvious repairs are the ceilings in two, perhaps three bedrooms, flooring in various rooms and some roof tiles and roofing need repairs.

Now we have that out of

the way, the home has some amazing features.

Apart from the three bedrooms, large galley kitchen and formal airconditioned sunken lounge, there is an additional large sunroom and fully screened veranda.

One of the best features of the home is also the large fully covered outdoor entertaining area directly off the rear of the home.

The backyard is also a delight, with a large double lock up garage, as well as a large separate rear yard with vehicular access, perfect for the van, boat, or trailer, but also potentially the site of a granny flat (subject to Council

approvals of course).

As mentioned, a home with plenty of potential for someone who isn’t scared of a little hard work or

EUROVISION: AUSTRALIA DECIDES

SBS, 8.30pm

There’s a lot to love about Eurovision; it’s the singing competition that takes Europe by storm. Since 2015, Aussie viewers have had an extra incentive to tune in and enjoy the spectacle, with Australia joining the list of competitors (only the second country outside of Europe to do so). Tonight, hosts Joel Creasey and Myf Warhurst showcase the artists, including Paulini, and Jaguar Jonze and Isaiah Firebrace, competing for their chance to represent Australia.

Knowing when to pull the plug on a hit drama is a sign of clever and conscientious writers. Tonight, after three enthralling, unpredictable seasons, the final instalment of Killing Eve is premiering with a racing pulse of gunshots, messy relationships, gorgeous clothes and breathtaking locations; for a spy thriller, it revels in subverting our expectations of genre and characters. After an almost twoyear wait, the anticipation of what befalls Eve (Sandra Oh, right) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is skyhigh and, as with past seasons, there’s an exciting new showrunner in Laura Neal (Sex Education).

In “Just Dunk Me”, Villanelle has found a fresh community to try to prove she is not a monster.

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour & District Sporting Car Club finally got out of the pits and onto the track last weekend as they hosted their first event of the year following several postponements due to

Covid-19.

The Khanacross at Raleigh Raceway had perfect conditions for the event designed to attract a new generation of drivers.

Committee member Bob Carle welcomed the new juniors in attendance to the

sport.

“The great surprise was nine new juniors coming out, some with their own cars (while) some used the club’s Suzuki.

"Plus two new ladies participated,” Mr Carle said.

“The new committee,

under their new President Steve Arthur, did a great job with all hands on deck.

“Mick Morley, the long standing treasurer had a huge job because following our Covid break everyone needed new memberships, entries, licences and so forth.

“The Clerk of Course for the day, Scott Beard, did a great job getting the event started on time.

“He gave everyone eight runs each for the day and we finished early in the afternoon.

“The courses were set out

by Blair Hallberg, and ably

assisted by members of the Club to set up, starting with some easy courses to let the juniors find their way and then set them where a little more driving skill was needed.

“It was great to see parents enjoying their day with their juniors.

Sawtell Panthers Juniors On The Rise

By David WIGLEY

Barrett told News Of The Area opportunities exist at NSW’s country clubs to pursue NRL dreams.

“The Panthers and Group 2 have a rich history in helping players pursue their dreams, as you can see from Malakhi Donovon joining the West Tigers with Travys and Liam moving north to Tweed Heads, the opportunities are there.

“The Gold Coast Titans have signed fifteen-year-old Luke Jones from Sawtell.”

With several junior stars departing the Club, new recruits are needed to fill the gaps.

SEVERAL Sawtell Panthers Rugby League Club juniors are pursuing their NRL dreams as the club seeks to grow player numbers for this year’s Group 2 competition.

Luke Jones has joined the Gold Coast Titans Academy, Malakhi Donovan has moved to Sydney to join the West Tigers and Travys Downton and Liam Hand have moved to Tweed Heads.

Last year the Panthers’ under 18s finished in second place under the tutelage of coach Peter Barrett.

“There’s plenty of opportunities for locals playing for Group 2 but as players move away we need new players to replace them.

“We have great coaches at the Panthers but we need more players in both the juniors and the seniors.”

The North Coast has produced many NRL players over the past ten years, with Sawtell’s former captain Locky Miller one of the most recent after joining the Cronulla Sharks this season.

“We encourage anyone who has played or is interested to contact their local club and get involved,” said Barrett, who has captained and coached several first grade teams in NSW and QLD to success.

Barrett also has a strong history in Group 2, where he has coached first grade sides Sawtell and Orara Valley to Grand Finals, as well as finishing as finalists with Nambucca Heads.

In 1991 Barrett coached an undefeated Group 2 First Grade

A WHITE-hot front nine on the final day paved the way for Kade McBride to win the Geoff King Motors North Coast Open.

McBride started his second round at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club on Wednesday two strokes off the lead but when he went out in an incredible 6-under 28 before producing another birdie

on the 10th hole to make it six birdies in just seven, suddenly the Sanctuary Lakes member found himself leading by five strokes.

“I knew I had to get off to a good start and my goal was just to play as aggressive as I could and just try and do good job with it,” McBride said.

“I did a really good job

with it actually.”

A string of pars on the back nine saw him continue to hold a two stroke lead until making a double bogey on the par-5 17th when his second shot hit a concrete path and bounced out of bounds.

That opened the door for Hunter Valley amateur Corey Lamb who found himself in a tie for the lead.

there and I’d rather take it on. I actually hit a good putt on 17 as well and I was surprised that missed.

“Coming down 18 I just teed off with the mentality of making a birdie.”

Easily the best of the local contingent was rookie pro Amelia Mehmet-Grohn who finished in third place.

Playing in just her fourth professional event, the 24 year-old found herself in a tie for the lead at the halfway mark of the tournament.

Unable to find the same rhythm as the first day, Mehmet-Grohn made a pair of late birdies on the 15th and 17th holes to separate her from the chasing pack.

Playing in front of friends and family,

McBride answered back quickly though, hitting his approach into the final hole to within 12 feet before making the uphill putt to regain the outright lead.

“I wasn’t really too frustrated (after the double bogey) it just happened,” the 26 year-old said.

“It was a tough shot in

“North Coast has so many great coaches, Group 2 had so much talent coming through our juniors and we need to get back to those days and encourage them to stay in this area, so get down to your local club and be part of this great game,” said Barrett.

the right-hander said the greatest pressure she felt came from a surprise advantage.

“I didn’t know there was a decision that I could play off the ladies tees,” Mehmet-Grohn said.

“It was a decision that I felt a little bit more pressure from than I would’ve liked. So there was a little bit more pressure to shoot low off the ladies tees but I’m starting to love that pressure.”

By Aiden BURGESS

The annual Bruce Barnier Memorial Coffs 9s Hockey Tournament is scheduled to be held over three days on March 4-6 at the Coffs Harbour Hockey Complex.

This year's event will feature two divisions, mixed competitions, as well as a social night.

The annual nine-aside event honors the contributions made to the region’s hockey by the late Bruce Barnier.

Barnier was a life member of Hockey Coffs Coast, Southside Hockey Club, Hockey NSW, and the Coffs Harbour Sports Council.

Barnier was recognised for his contribution to hockey in Coffs Harbour by being awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000.

Former Hockey Coffs Coast president Joel Matthews said Bruce Barnier had not just

“One of the highlights of Bruce’s work in Coffs Harbour was as a member of the Coffs Harbour City Council’s 2000 Olympic Games Committee, where he organised the Combined Schools’ Display to promote the Torch Relay and the concert that welcomed the Olympic Torch upon its arrival in Coffs Harbour,” he said.

“He also helped to organise the Groundswell campaign to establish the western fields of the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park,

Coffs Harbour Golden Oldies Cricket Club

By Graham DOUST ON Sunday 20 February, the team traveled to Port Macquarie to play Mid North Coast on Wayne Richards Oval.

The pitch was quite dry and little worn from use the previous day.

A maximum of six overs each bowler and batters retiring after facing 30 balls or scoring 30 runs with the right to return to the crease ensured that all players could be involved in the day.

Mid North Coast won the toss and elected to bat and scored 5 for 144 from their 40 allotted overs with David

Urunga Bowls

Relf and Chas Viner being the highest scorers.

Coffs limited the scoring opportunities with tight bowling.

Early breakthroughs by Bruce Mackie (2-27) and a miserly 6 over spell off off spin bowling by Terry Booth (1-6) set up a good day in the field for Coffs.

Strong batting from the outset kept the runs flowing for Coffs Harbour and the winning runs were taken with seven overs to spare and just four wickets falling.

John Leahy (22), Terry Booth (26), and Bruce Mackie (26) were well supported by

Runner Up: Zach Hilfstein Men’s B Grade Winner: Jaward Mazhar Runner Up: Loïc Prouin (Coffs Harbour) Men’s C Grade Winner: Tom Cleary Runner Up: Dave Street Men’s D grade Winner: James Douglas

Laurie Newland (16), Kosta Delimihalis (19) and Terry Herbert (13).

It was good to see newcomer to the game, Steve Leary, get a few runs.

Coffs man of the match went to Terry Booth who performed very well with the bat and the ball.

Next week quite a few of the “older” Coffs players will team up with colleagues from the Mid North Coast to form two sides to participate in the NSW Over 70’s State Tournament to be held over three days at Tuggerah on the Central Coast.

John Leahy, Graham Doust, Bruce Lumb, Terry Crossland and Rob McDonnell have been nominated in the 1st division team and John Lambert and Kevin Walker in the 2nd

Squash a Big Hit! Friday, 25 February 2022

By David WIGLEY

PLAYERS from across Australia descended to Coffs Harbour for the Roberts & Morrow PSA North Coast Open in a bid to gain ranking points and the opportunity to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games.

Newly elected Mayor of Coffs Harbour and former squash player Paul Amos greeted the touring players and encouraged the players to immerse themselves in the region and discover the beautiful coast.

Former world number one Rachel Grinham turned back the years to win the women’s open, defeating Alex Haydon in a gruelling 61 minute five setter.

Alex Haydon’s dynamic movement and hard hitting had the former world

CHH

champion on the ropes but Grinham was able to absorb the pressure with immaculate length that forced Haydon to dig the ball from the back corners.

The experience of 45-year-old Grinham prevailed as she changed the pace, lifting the ball high on the front wall to gain an advantageous T-position and set up devastating backhand drop shots from the front and back of the court.

Grinham was pleased with her debut appearance at the North Coast Open.

“Was really happy with the way I played this week, it was always going to be a tough road to get through to the end as all my matches right from the quarters were likely to be equally tough if I got through them.

“Though I played particularly well here today,” said Grinham.

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

In the quarter finals Grinham defeated Coffs Harbour’s Tamika Hunt in another five-setter which had the crowd on their feet.

Hunt clawed her way back from two games down to square the match at 2-2 but Grinham consolidated in the fifth to take the final game 11-6 and the match.

Rex Hedrick from Melbourne won the men’s open, defeating Josh Larkin 3-0 after forty minutes of gruelling squash.

The former world number 48 returned from injury to play high tempo squash and absorb everything Larkin threw at him.

Hedrick’s consistency and miserly error count resulted in a straight sets victory of 11-4, 11-7, 11-5 and not dropping a game in the whole tournament.

A very happy Hedrick said,
